Urgent Update On Mumia Abu Jamal, Dec 8, 2011
Submitted by copwatch on Thu, 12/08/2011 - 12:00amOn Wednesday December 7, 2011 District Attorney of Philadelphia, Seth Williams, accompanied by Maureen Faulkner, announced at a press conference that he was not pursuing another hearing to reinstate the death penalty for Mumia Abu Jamal.
This means that Mumia is now sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
There is already talk about him now being moved into general population.
Some people may celebrate this as a victory but MOVE is not under any illusions about these treacherous officials, we ain’t fooled one bit by their deviousness. We see this latest decision for exactly what it is- A devious tactic to kill Mumia in a so-called different way.
